THERE is certainly something very
generous in the way the American
people come to the aid OF the widows
of impecunious public men, particu-
larly OF those who have been soldiers.
This has been exemplified in the
cases of the widows of Grant, Gar
field, Hancock and, the other day,
Logan. This spontaneous liberality
has been of recent growth. In the
old days there was great Indifference
as to the pecuniary circumstances of
men who had done illustrious service to
their country and their widows Jared
equally i'll. Thomas Jefferson in his
old days of poverty had to petition
the Legislature of Virginia to be
allowed to rattle off his library, while
Andrew Jackson had to fall back
upon loan from Francis Z. Blair to
save his homestead from being fore
closed upon. We are more generous
than in the old days, and richer-de-
cidedly richer.

ONE of the most amusing features
of the late Senatorial struggle was
the unctuous attitude Of Frank G.
Newlands, the son-in-law of Mr..
Sharon. By some inscrutable agency
this gentleman actually persuaded
himself that he had, or was entitled
to have, some standing in the Demo-
cratic party. He abused George
Hearst in . lordly way, and depre-
Gated the selection OF man who,
like Uncle George, was only recon-
mended by his money. Here was
richness for you, in the language OF
Squeers. 1t would be interesting to
know what there is but money to
recommend Mr.. Newlands to the
Democracy. 1t is money, and old
Sharon's money, at that. Were Mr..
Newlands put up at popular elec-
tion to run for Office he would be
showed under. He could not be
elected pound keeper. He probably
founded his supercilious claims upon
Democratic recognition on the fact
that it is pretty generally understood
that he spent great deal OF old
Sharon's money in beating Judge
Sullivan for the Supreme Court.

canoe Of the victory. But there are
some victories that are positively
worse than defeats. For instance,
Gov. Stanford euchred Sargent out OF
the Senatorship from California after
Aaron had given the inspiration to
the campaign, and the result was the
election OF Bartlett for Governor the
other day and of handsome Demo-
cratic majority on joint ballot in the
Legislature, thus assuring the elec-
ton of Democratic Senator. Van
Wyck seems to have been an honest
opponent of corporation aggression
in the United States Senate, and the
fact that he was Republican ac-
centuated this somewhat peculiar
and patriotic course. But he was a
man of somewhat marked personal
acerbities; and, being sort OF polit-
ical Ishmaelite whose hand was
against everybody, he found that
everybody's hand was against him
at least to the extent of being Knocked
out in the present political inning.

THE normal rains are at last being
reported from Washington Territory
and Oregon, and these will doubtless
shortly be followed by largely in
creased precipitation in California.
1t is now established beyond doubt
that we are to have late season in
California, but this by no means in
dicates that We are necessarily to
suffer from serious failure of the
cereals. The more sagacious OF our
farmers are going right along and
blowing and sowing as If bountiful
crops were assured. Two years ago
there was the same, or, rather, a
greater hiatus between the early and
the late rains, but We harvested ex-
cellent crops all the same.

THERE is no question to us but that
Mr.. John Bryson's bid for the City
"Hole," corner of spring and Second
streets, should be made to stick. He
is the only person known to the city
in the matter, and he ought to be
held accountable. The exact legal
status OF this affair should be ascer-
tanned at once, and Bryson held to
his bargain if the law so leans. If
not, Mr.. Humphreys's suggestion
ought to be adopted, and the lot sub
divided and sold instanter. There
ought to be no more shilly-shallying
about our getting a city hall.

IT is really crying shame that the
force of clerks at the Los Angeles
Postoffice is SO inadequate to the
work imposed upon them. The sala-
ries of these hard worked men are
UNANIMOUSLY insufficient, and their
number ought to be increased by at
least twenty-five per cent. Postmas-
ter General Villas is right in cultivat-
ing spirit OF economy, but clear
understanding of the situation by
him would doubtless result in grant
Ing the relief asked for. Any con-
cessions in this line would be ap-
proved by Democrats and Republi-
cans alike hereabouts.

pue,,.ner,. Announcement.

Col. J. J. Ayers, the late
State Printer, will arrive in
Los Angeles by the steamer
Ancon tomorrow, and will take
charge of the editorial and
managerial departments of the HER
AID, the present occupant of those
positions retiring temporarily from
sctive daily journalism, to resume
work after vacation which seven
teen years OF uninterrupted Journal
istic toll would seem to warrant.
II has been an open secret that
Col. Ayers last spring became Pc
cuniarily interested in the HERALD.
No man rs better known in journal
istic circles, or, indeed, in Southern
California than he, and his return to
his old field of usefulness will be
warmly greeted by his many friends
and admirers everywhere. Col.
Ayers is one of the most versatile,
thoughtful and powerful writer's on the
press Of this coast, or, indeed, OF the
United States. He was for years iden-
tilted with the growth of this section,
and to again take up the cudgels in
its behalf will be to him labor OF
love, and one which he is capable OF
discharging trenchantly and welt.
While . member of Governor Stone
mans administration Col. Ayers as
State Printer inaugurated the splen-
did scheme Of giving school books at
cost to the people OF California. This
experiment has proved to be capital
success, and of itself it has justified
the popular preference for the Demo-
cratic party. In common with all
Angelenos, we shall cordially vel
come our old time confrere back to
the orange groves ofthe Angelic City.

WHILE the HERALD takes no in
terest in the squabbles OF its contem-
po. aries, we think that our amiable
evening daily has been piqued out OF
its ordinary good judgment by the
jibes OF that professional scold, the
Iysses. In its issue of yesterday it
prefaces every dispatch that appeared
in its columns by the announcement
that it was sent exclusively to the
Express. Now as the manifold copy
Of these same dispatches from the
Associated Press was lying on the
table OF the telegraph editor OF the
HERALD at the time this ridiculous
claim was made, we must enter a
protest. This journal has never
thought that it's readers were inter
ested in offensive logomachies be-
tween rival newspaper men, and it
b as INDUCED in them as little as pos
sible. 1t has always been careful,
however, to supply its patrons with
the whole volume of the news, for
which it pays the highest price given
by any journal in California, outside
Of San Francisco. Its readers and
the general public appreciate the con-
stant and intelligent efforts made in
this direction without parade or fam
fare. and they have signified this APP
preciation by a gratifying patronage.
The circulation and business OF the
HxRALD :are both increasing at
phenomenal rate, advancing pari
possu with the unprecedented pro-
gross Of this section.

THERE are two hoary, haunting
things about the city of Los Angeles.
One is the impossibility of getting
Los Angeles street open, and the
other the apparent imposibility OF
getting a park commensurate with
the fame OF the Angelic City. An
other nightmare, but this relates to
the county, is the miserable old
court house. When, in the name Of
all the Gods at once, will this opulent
county have court house which will
no: put us to the blush?

been recognized as strong one. both
from the standpoint of technical skill
and intellectual force. Amongst
these gentlemen We must rank two
authors, Judge R. M. Widney and
Col. George H. Smith. The latter
has just published a volume under
9he title of "Right and Law OF a
high order of merit. To the appre-
hension of most people right has
about as little to do with law as
moonshine has with the differential
ealcalus, but it is taking title, and
Col. Smith has applied his scholarly
mind to the writing of what proves
to be highly entertaining as well as
scholarly work. AS reporter OF the
Supreme Court of California our
townsman has done practical work
Of great value, and he has rounded
up the literary portion OF his career
by the present effort, which will un-
questionably take high rank. Col.
Smith modestly states in his preface
that it was written in the intevals OF
the lahors of a lawyer in active prao-
tice. 1t would have appeared at an
earlier date if it had not been for the
fire in the establishment Of Bancroft

stroyed the electrotype plates and
necessitated its issuance by the Chi
cago publishing firm of Callaghan &
Co. Fright and Law" is written in
. style at once clear and forcible, and
will repay perusal even by laymen.

The Boston Girl,s Craze.

The Sacramento Star says the
craze among the Boston girls for
their photographs in the nude
probably arises from the aesthetic
ism that beauty unadorned is
adorned the most. We don't know
how the nude Boston girl in Boston
might look in a photograph, but as
the Boston girl appears as Califor-
mia tourist, all that would be neces-
sary for model from which to
take her nude photograph would be
two broom-sticks and pair of green
eyeglasses.

WHY IS 1T CLOSED p

The Industrial School in connec-
ton with the Orphans Home at
Carson has been closed down in
definitely. Thus the State loses a
step in the march of progress.-En-
terprise.
The Industrial school in connec-
ton with the Orphans Home was
one of the best features of the in
stItution. The building was the
gift of the late Senator Sharon and
it is disgrace to Nevada if this
school is allowed to fall into disuse.
1t can hardly be question of mon
ey as the building has been erected
and furnished with tools and sup
plies and the cost of running the
school now, consists only of the
salary of the Superintendent.
With this department a boy
learns trade SO that when he
leaves the institution he has some
means of earning livelihood. Tae
boys were receiving instructions as
to the use of tools, were getting
very much interested and making
rapid progress and right in the
midst of this the place is closed
down.
The taxpayers of the State are
anxious to know what this means.
Is 1t not proclaiming to the world
that no one need leave requests to
Nevada as the State will not take
enough interest in such gifts to pay
the running expenses of them? Is
it not also direct insult to the
donor, Mr.. Sharon.
II the Board were to order this
school kept open and call on the
next Legislature for an appropria-
ton, does any one for a moment
hold that it would be refused?
The matter is one of great inn
portance to the State and should be
attended to at once.

JOHN SHERMAN.

John Sherman by dint of many
years OF hard work has finally sue
ceeded in getting the Ohio Republl-
cans to nominate him for the Presi-
dency. Mr.. Sherman labors under
two decisions. One is that Ohio's
voice rules the Union and another
is that the Presidential campaign of
1888 has begun.
To all who look at this matter in
the proper light, the thing has the
appearance of having been sprung
on the country at a time when
there was little hope of doing any
body any special good. Some of
Blaine's ill advised followers made
an effort to stand Sherman off, but
had Blaine been in the United
States he would probably allowed
Sherman all the rope he wanted at
this particular time. The position
of Sherman before the Toledo Con-
vention is variously discussed by
the daily papers, The Graphic
says:
Sherman is this year repeating
some of the successful tactics of
1870; but, warned by want of 10y
atty to Garfield, he proposes to be
on the ground in person when the
critical moment arrives in the State
Convention. He will not permit
any false modesty to stand between
him and the accomplishment of his
hopes of securing the unanimous
endorsement of the State Conven-
ton in his Presidential ambition.
As a simple delegate in the State
Convention, Sherman will cut an
interesting figure.
The Post says; "He stoops to
conquer. Will he be successful in
eating his humble pie ?"
The Mail and Express says:
GAN eyes are fixed upon the Re-
publican State Convention, where
the Presidential campaign has be-
gun little too early and too fiercely
and has created unnecessary fric-
ton, heat and confusion. There
was no reason why Sherman should
not be recognized as the great lead
er of his party in Ohio, and as
man eminently entitled to the sup
port of his fellow citizens for the
Presidency. But there should be
no sort of constraint about this.
Freedom and spontaneousness are
essential elements of value"
The Commercial Advertiser says
cit is evident the contest has hurt
Sherman's standing and chances
considerably. AS we said yester-
day, the people do not like to be
badgered into hero-worship."
